The Salomons’ 2004 Traminer Reserve (from tank) smells of pork roast, bacon fat, rose petal and celery root. Brothy and juicy in the mouth, it displays the clarity of flavors and uplifting acidity for which the yellow branch of the Traminer family is known (to those few who have ever tasted it). The finish strongly and strikingly unites layers of rich meat stock, smoky salty ham and bacon, rose petal, and litchi.
